Dick Covington, the long-time voice of KYW radio in Philadelphia, died last night at the age of 77. Dick used to tell a story about working in Memphis radio in the 1950s and having lunch with a young Elvis. His assessment, "he was a good kid."
And let me tell you, when he's reading from the Bible at your wedding, it sounds like the voice of God has entered the church.
In North Carolina and elsewhere, you can hear Dick at the top and bottom of every hour on a clear night at 1060 AM. I'll be listening tonight.
We'll miss you, Dick.
